Well, if you have ADR enabled and deployed to production collections
then you must have already deployed IE 11 to the machines.
Guess what happens next. People will be calling helpdesk saying we have IE 11 installed and our web applications not working. Then it is your job to go to rescue and rollback the Internet explorer 11. Unlike another update, it is bit different to uninstall IE 11 but easy.
Create an application with using below command and deploy to the TEST collection.

FORFILES /P
%WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-*11.*.mum /c
"cmd /c echo Uninstalling package @fname && start /w pkgmgr
/up:@fname /quiet /norestart /l:C:\Windows\temp\IE11_uninstall.txt"
1. Create an application
2. Choose Script Installer in deployment type
3. Copy the command line in Installation Program box in deployment type
4. On “Specify how this deployment type is detected window” select
Setting type: File System
Type: File
Path: %ProgramFiles%\Internet Explorer
File or folder name: iexplore.exe
Select the second radio button – The file System setting must satisfy the following rule to indicate the presence of this application
Property: Version
Operator: Not Equal to
Value: 11.00.9600.17037
Note: This detection rule is very
important. Based on above settings, if Internet Explorer 11 is not installed,
this application won’t run. It will ONLY run when it detects the iexplore.exe
file version is equal to 11.00.9600.17037.1. Create an application

5. Choose appropriate user experience settings
6. Then choose default values, click next, next then close
7. Deploy to the test collection then add the test machine to the collection
8. That’s it. IE 11 will be uninstalled when the machine gets the policy.

This is an awesome post.
ReplyDeleteWindows updates installed IE 11 on my organizations computers and I need to rollback,
This article helped me create the package in no time.
Thanks a ton.
Thank you very much. Works amazingly well. I had tried the "wusa.exe /uninstall /kb:2841134 /quiet /norestart" command with poor results. Buy yourself a coffee on me. lol
ReplyDeleteGreat post mate.
ReplyDeleteI have to uninstall from machines for one of the business unit in my org.
Used this guide and worked well.
Cheers,

ReplyDeleteI guess I am the only one who came here to share my very own experience. Guess what!? I am using my laptop for almost the past 2 years, but I had no idea of solving some basic issues. I do not know how to fullcrackedpc.com But thankfully, I recently visited a website named vsthomes.com

ReplyDeleteThis has not worked for me. I have copied this command FORFILES /P %WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-*11.*.mum /c "cmd /c echo Uninstalling package @fname && start /w pkgmgr /up:@fname /quiet /norestart /l:C:\Windows\temp\IE11_uninstall.txt"
into the Installation Program field, did everything but when I ran the application in Software Center, it did not uninstall IE.
